Sally Hansen Swatch Time!!

Hello All,
I have some Sally Hansen Polishes here for you to enjoy! Sally Hansen actually started off my Obesssion with nail polish! My very first nail polish I picked up over a year ago, was Sally Hansen's Xtreme wear in Blue-it! Not surprising that I picked up a blue polish first eh??

I love all of Sally Hansen's polishes, and though they are cheap, they are super good quality. Them and Sinful's started out my polish obsession, and I will always have a special place in my heart for them!

Now then,

Onto the polishes shall we?

This is Sally Hansen Complete Manicure in Black Platinum! It is a black with a multicolored shimmer that runs throughout the polish, it is very pretty! However, for a black, it was super sheer. It needed four coats.. you, you heard the right.. 4 coats, and even then it still wasn't fully opaque. Thankfully the application was super smooth! I know the shimmer looks silver, but there were so many colors in there, just the silver turned up on camera :(

Next up is Cherry Cherry Bang Bang, which despite the name is actually, a lovely magenta jelly! It leans more pink in real life.  I was pleasantly surprised when I put it on, as you all know how much I love jellies! The formula was good on this one, and it went on super smooth and easily!

Despite it's jelly like quality, it only needed three coats to become opaque! So maybe it's a crelly? Whatever it is, it's beautiful!

Next we have, Back to the Fuchsia! Which is a lovely bright pink polish with a stunning blue shimmer! You can actually see the shimmer on my nails, it was super bright and wonderful and blue!! I know we all want those blue polishes with pink shimmer, but now here is the opposite, and I love it! I want more of them!

This polish was a bit sheer, and the below pictures are about 4 coats, but thankfully, it went on super smooth and easy!

Now we have, Sally Hansen's Hidden Treasure, sadly, it is not the wonderful flakie top coat we all knew and loved and wanted, (I still don't have it!) This is the new one, a pinky-green shimmer that I doubt would ever be opaque on it's own. It would probably be best to layer this over a darker color. I used five coats in the below pictures and you can still see VNL. It's Model's Own, Indian ocean all over again!

Thankfully it went on pretty easily!

And last, but certainly not least, is Sally Hansen's Xtreme wear in Mint Sorbet! This is a beautiful light mint/honeydew color and I loved it! It did have a bit of a tricky application though, as most light colors do! It was a bit streaky and thick, and I even had to redo a nail cause it wasn't working so well.

But it turned out in the end, and I loved this color! So it's all worth it! What do you think?

  2. Wow! I love all of those colors, especially Cherry Cherry Bang Bang and Back to the Fuschia! Do you think Cherry Cherry Bang Bang would work out well in a jelly sandwich? I've been trying to find a few good jelly polishes, and I love that color!
